Undernutrition in pregnant women is a major public health issue causing adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Developing nutritious, accessible supplementary food from local materials is essential. Clarias gariepinus provides high-quality essential nutrients and mocaf offers a local carbohydrate source. This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of Clarias gariepinus and mocaf flour on the sensory evaluation analysis, proximate analysis, mineral content and physical quality of noodle as an alternative supplementary food for pregnant women with undernutrition. This study was an experimental research, using a completely randomized design with two factors. This study was conducted from July to September 2024. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis ANOVA, with Duncan’s post-hoc test using SPSS 23. The results of statistical analysis indicated that there was a significantly affected of concentration ratio Clarias gariepinus and mocaf flour on the parameters of energy, carbohydrate, protein, moisture, ash, calcium and iron contents (P<0.05). The sensory evaluation showed that significant differences in taste and color between the formulas (P<0.05). The effect of ratio Clarias gariepinus and mocaf flour on the parameters of cooking loss and expansion ratio in physical quality analysis showed significantly affected (P<0.05). Total fat content, aroma, texture and swelling index did not significant affect (P>0.05). This study found a 10% Clarias gariepinus flour and 30% mocaf ratio optimal. An 80g serving provides 16% energy of their daily needs, thus it could be recommended as a supplementary food for pregnant women with undernutrition.
